Get them. They are made by Hooker so they have the same exact bends, are made of the same material, and have the same coating. I installed mine in three hours, slipped right in.

the flanges are very thin,i think 1/4" instead of 3/8" like most others. they will make the same hp as some higher priced headers but alot of them start leaking around the flanges after awhile because they warp easier than thicker ones.
